Kanade
<Okay, I'll be looking forward to it.>
Mizuki
<Since you two are gonna be exercising tomorrow, why don't you log off early today?>
Kanade
<Right. Once a I reach a good place to stop, I'll probably got to bed for a bit...>
Ena
<Yeah, me too.
So, I'll be getting back to work now.>

Mizuki
<Okie dokie♪>
Ena
Finished...!
Hehe. I got a lot more done than I was expecting.
Hehe. I got a lot more done than I was expecting.
Ena
Now to send it off to Kanade and the others...
Ena
Hmm... I can log off now, but I don't feel that sleepy yet...
Ena
I know. I'll spend this time looking up how to get the most out of our walk...
Ena
Since we're actually going through with this, we should figure out how to efficiently benefit from it.
Ena
Let's start with...
“Getting the most out of a walk”... Search...
“Getting the most out of a walk”... Search...
Ena
Oh, I got a ton of results.
Which ones look good...?
Which ones look good...?
Ena
Oh, this site's really well written, and it includes some nice figures...
Ena
Let's see... Oh, here we go.
A whole section about getting more out of your walk!
A whole section about getting more out of your walk!
Ena
<Stretch before and after you go on your walk.>
Ena
<Stretch prior to exercising in order to warm up your joints and afterwards to loosen your muscles and help them recover.>
Ena
Okay, so it's important to keep stuff like this in mind even when you're just going for a walk...
Ena
And there's a video about proper walking form down below. I think I'll give it a try.
Ena
Play... Oh, I should unplug my headphones and lower the volume...
Video Trainer
<Alright, let's talk about some important tips and tricks to getting the most out of your walk!>
Ena
It's nice that they're getting right to it. Videos with long-winded introductions really bug me sometimes.
Video Trainer
<First, your shoulder blades and pelvis! You may often see people aggressively swinging their arms out in front while walking.>
Video Trainer
<However, it's more important to focus on your shoulder blades and pelvis! By properly alternating between each side, you'll get the core workout you're looking for.>
Ena
Okay, my shoulder blades and pelvis...
Video Trainer
<So, let's give it a try!
First, move your right hand and left foot forward!>
First, move your right hand and left foot forward!>
Ena
My right hand and left foot...
Video Trainer
<Now, check to see where your shoulder blades and pelvis are facing. Next, instead of your arms and legs, think about moving your shoulder blades and pelvis.>
Ena
Uhh... Like this...?
Video Trainer
<When you move, try to keep your limbs from flailing. Your goal is simply to gently push them forward!>
Video Trainer
<How is it?
Can you feel the muscles in your core as you use them?>
Can you feel the muscles in your core as you use them?>
Video Trainer
<Alright, let's take one more step!>
Ena
Hm...?
Oh, I am starting to feel it around my midriff.
Oh, I am starting to feel it around my midriff.
Video Trainer
<By using your core as you walk, you're also helping your internal organs do their job and making your body just that much healthier.>
Ena
Yeah, I see.
This video's really good and easy to understand. I think I'll share it with Kanade.

Kanade
<I agree. It's a bit hard to tell how they're moving their arms and legs without any visual aids...>
Mizuki
<And I'm curious to hear what their other important point is...>
Ena
Huh...?
Ena
Wait...
Ena
When did I get unmuted?!
Mizuki
<Remember how you unplugged your headphones when you decided to follow along? I think that was when it happened.>
Kanade
<I think that happens to all of us. We forget that unplugging our headphones can cause our computers to turn our mics back on.>
Ena
...
Ena
<Hey, if you could hear, why didn't you tell me sooner...?!>
Mizuki
<Whoa, hold up. One second, we were just trying to work, and the next, we have someone yelling, “Alright, here's how to get the most out of your walk!” in our ears.>
Mizuki
<We figured that you were watching a video, Enanan, and I was doing everything I could to not laugh out loud♪>
Ena
<I'm not letting you forget this, Amia! You better watch out the next time we see each other!>
Ena
<*Sigh*
Sorry about that, K. I didn't mean to interrupt you.>
Sorry about that, K. I didn't mean to interrupt you.>
Kanade
<It's okay. Actually, I'd like to thank you for finding that video. If you don't mind sharing it with me, I'd like to watch it later.>
Ena
<Yeah, of course.>
Ena
<Let's learn everything we can from this video and make sure we get in a good walk, K.>
Kanade
<Yes, let's.>
